Ship’s Log

Grit Blasting
Dione IV is moved to the grit blasting hall, will be wrapped in thick plastic foil, and the bottom will be blasted with grit.
-
Steel Welding
In the steel welding hall, convex shapes are added for the bow thruster for improved hydrodynamics.
-
Bowthuster
To install the bowthruster, we cut 2 HUGE holes in the bow of Dione’s hull, below the waterline. What?!!! Really?
-
Cleaning
While we wait for space in the steel workshop, we spend the time washing and cleaning everything…
-
Hoisted on Shore
Today Dione IV gets hoisted on shore for enhancements (adding a bow thruster) and her routine maintenance.
-
Little Lambs
We found a B&B room to rent on a farm… a great option because it was reasonably priced and close, and they have lambs!
